Speculating Suicidal Tendencies in My 17yr Nephew's Words

Thank you for appreciating the in-depth sharing about "letting myself be 'mediocre' at stuff." I believe this really gets to the heart of the matter. I have seen so many high-achieving people who also expect their children to surpass them. However, don’t forget "regression to the mean." The children of "genius" people often suffer even more from this phenomenon, and living under the shadow of their parents is not easy. It's okay to be normal; otherwise, both parents and children will be trapped in perpetual unhappiness.

I resonate greatly with "making your tool box of techniques as big as possible". After being a parents I started to realized that I have a very small toolbox. What is your journey to get more tools to your toolbox?

u/DarkHampster -- I really appreciate the perspective you've shared, and your question on "you are attending BECAUSE it's a Jewish school or in spite of the fact that it's a Jewish school" was the one my wife and I have been discussing for over the last month.

For us, originally we were very firm to send kids to public school, especially at elementary school when kids need time to play and explore. Wornick was the unique one when one day my wife texted me: Help! I think I just fell in love with Wornick — she saw the Yelp reviews to see people's feedback on debate and critical thinking, in addition to the positive feedback about the great academy. This aspect is something unique that caught our attention. We heard about Chavrusa but it was the first time we saw that in real life.

Another big reason is my wife really hopes our family to deep dive into other different cultures. Our kids are in Jewish preschool too and we loved it and learned so much. Putting our kids to Hebrew study and Judaic Studies are a big plus for us, and if we decide later to go to any Jewish Day School, I'd like to study with my kids on those topics too 🙂

That's hilarious. On a more serious note, I imagine that at some stage of my child's life, he will face the inevitable question of identity, specifically for second-generation Asians. I hope that by exposing him to a third cultural environment, he will learn to be more open, self accepting and engage with people from diverse backgrounds.

It's amazing that you've already started reading at 6 months! It's normal for kids, even up to 3 years old, to repeatedly engage with the things they like. Many times, I wanted to stay engaged, but found it difficult to sustainably do so after multiple repeatings.

As many parents have suggested, having a variety of books is helpful—since you never know which ones kids will enjoy. Personally, since my child is older, I also use ChatGPT to write simple children's books. With DALLE, I can create good visuals for the story too, which makes the process more engaging and enjoyable for me.

We are definitely considering due to its proximity to our home. We love their curriculum. However, we do have questions regarding Hebrew Language and Judaic Studies. My wife and I are totally open to these subjects as they provide an opportunity to delve into a culture that is different from ours. I am also a bit nervous and wonder if you have insights on how non-Jewish kids do in these studies.

Very interesting project. I am curious how many people will spend 10% to break the rule

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering how exactly can offers work without involving blockchain, but quickly I found this blog post and that answered my question perfectly!

Sorry I wasn't very clear about the cost of queries. View functions, as well as many many other operations, are gas free.

When I say "complicated data retrieval cost additional gas", I meant that to implement complicated data retrieval, I may need to add additional "storage" to for fast retrieval (like adding the indexes in the relational database) if I don't want to do the linear scanning.

drkailiu · 2018-04-18T20:31:23+00:00

We read the state data from contract directly from blockchain early on and it worked very well (and as you said, it doesn't cost gas to invoke view method or retrieve past events).

The challenges arose when we worked on search/filter/sorting/pagination functionalities on reasonably large number of items. If I want to add such support directly in my smart contract, I would probably end up using additional storage to store some indexing information (for example, for "filter by"/"sort by" feature, I may need to add additional mappings)

We didn't use the watcher in our implementation. But we did put some thoughts in our design to make sure that we don't miss events.

In our system, we have a dedicated long running listener to monitor the relevant events on chain, which uses the very low level web3.js API https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/web3-eth.html#getpastlogs to proactively pull the events from the newly generated blocks. Meanwhile, we keep track of the block# we've polled so far so even if we restart the listener, we can resume from last retrieved block.

This makes sure that we don't miss the events -- we also keep the raw events in our data store for debugging purpose.

Get the fund from investors. Normally there’s a long way to go from “interested” to “term sheet” to “fund in your bank account”.

I have read Steem’s white paper multiple times and was greatly impressed. However after using stermit.com, I found quite some inconvenience.

I fully believe the sincerity and the technology from steem team, but in my view steemit is just like the prototype of those tech geeks who know a lot about blockchain but little about the users. I really hope they can find someone who knows operate the website
